Motivational Quote of the Week

"People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be.” -Abraham Lincoln

Happiness is a cognitive choice, meaning your happiness is dictated by your thoughts and actions following that thought. Be aware of your inner monologue, the reflections and thinking that occurs in your head. Understand that you're in control of those mental habits and you're able to change them to your liking. If you notice that you reflect negatively to events in your life, it could be the cause of your unhappiness. Just like how we train our bodies to respond to a strike being thrown at you, your brain does the same thing to events occurring in your life. You must recreate your mental habits that'll benefit you the most. Every event can be seen either in a negative or positive light. Choose to see situations in a more positive light because it'll allow you to cope and overcome easier. Now you must not think everything as sunshine and rainbows, instead see them honestly and in a positive productive manner. Understand the reality of the situation and proceed to learn from that event and move on. You control the direction of your life, so choose to be happy by cultivating a better mindset on the world. Be honest to yourself and express yourself freely as much as you can.
